Windows 7 Can't run files with long path name??

[ExTaCy]

I had a setup of Lineage 2 Interlude on this path
C:\Users\ExTaCy1337\Desktop\Folder\FORMAT\Format\ExTaCy1337\Lineage II Installers\LineageII_interlude_client\


And I was running the setup and nothing was happening...
when I movied LineageII_interlude_client
to C:\...
like C:\LineageII_interlude_client\

It worked perfect... Why?
and I had some music

C:\Users\ExTaCy1337\Desktop\Folder\f0rm4t11\Downloads\Summer Hits Collection\

and all the music there I couldn't move them into Virtual DJ ...
So I had to put them

on ExTaCy1337 (C:\Users\ExTaCy1337) which is not that big and then they worked...
Why's that happening? :\

Hello and welcome to the Windows 7 Forums.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your problem, could you describe it a little better? Thanks!

Your path does not seem to be correct.

Files with a big path like this

C:\Users\ExTaCy1337\Desktop\Folder\FORMAT\Format\ExTaCy1337\Lineage II Installers\LineageII_interlude_client\setup.exe

Doesn't run....
I tried everything to get it run but nothing worked...
when I moved the folder to C:\ it run!!

Files with a path like this

C:\LineageII_interlude_client\setup.exe

Run...!

Your path does not seem to be correct.

Why you say that?

Maximum file name length is 255 characters.
See "limits" at File System Functionality Comparison (Windows)

That can't be tweaked somehow right?

Cheers to "nabucco" for the post! Some rep for you.
Unfortunately, I don't think it can be tweaked.

I had the same problem. And Link Removed helped me.

You can use Long Path Tool as well, it works good!

I agree with aliceten. Long Path Tool is an excellent solution to such a problem.
